LADY KISSES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 360 degrees F.
• To make the orange waffle, begin by mixing the icing sugar with the butter. Then mix in the orange juice and egg white. Finally, add the flour and mix. Keep it in the refrigerator for 20 minutes. Spoon the batter to create some circles on a silpat or parchment lined backing sheet and dust with grated orange peel.
• Bake for 4 minutes. Create quickly the desired forms to the waffle.
• Break the chocolate and warm up in a saucepan to approximately 100 degrees F. Beat in the egg yolk and the icing sugar. Remove the mixture from the heat and cool it while beating. Combine the melted chocolate and chocolate spread with the whipped cream. Pour the cream into the egg yolk mixture and refrigerate for at least 2 hours.
• To serve the mouse, dip a spoon in a bowl of tepid water and spoon out the desired amount of mousse and create some quenelles to put on the orange waffle.
• Garnish with some fresh berries and a dusting of confectioners' sugar.

LADIES' KISSES

Steps:

• Line 3 cookie sheets with parchment paper. Beat the butter and superfine sugar together in a bowl until pale and fluffy. Beat in the egg yolk, then the amonds and flour. Continue beating until well mixed. Shape the dough into a ball, then wrap in plastic wrap and let chill in the refrigerator for 1 1/2 - 2 hours.
• Preheat the oven to 325 degrees. Unwrap the dough and break off walnut size pieces, then roll them into balls between the palms of your hands. Place the dough balls on the prepared cookie sheets, spaced well apart to allow for spreading. Bake in a preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown. Remove from the oven and carefully transfer the cookies, still on the parchment paper, to cooling racks to cool.
• Place the chocolate in a small heatproof bowl set over a pan of gently simmering water and stir constantly until melted. Remove the bowl from the heat. Remove the cookies from the parchment paper, and spread the melted chocolate over the bases. Sandwich them together in pairs and return them to the cooling racks to cool and set. Dust with a mixture of sifted confectioners' sugar and cocoa and serve.

LOVE AND KISSES COOKIES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line 2 baking sheets with silicone baking mats or parchment paper.
• In a microwave-safe bowl, add the chocolate chips. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each interval, until melted. Allow to cool.
• Using a stand mixer with a paddle attachment, mix the brown sugar, granulated sugar, butter and cooled chocolate on medium speed until combined. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing after each addition, then the vanilla. Scrape the sides of the bowl and continue to mix on medium speed until combined.
• Whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder and salt in a bowl. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the mixer and mix until just combined.
• Put the red sprinkles in a bowl. Scoop mounded tablespoons of the dough. Roll into balls and roll each ball in the sprinkles to cover completely. Place on the prepared baking sheets. Bake until the cookies are poufy and set, about 10 minutes. When still warm, press a chocolate candy into the top of each. Let the cookies sit on the baking sheets for 2 minutes, then remove them to a wire rack to cool completely. Repeat with the remaining dough, sprinkles and chocolate candies.
